Most Archeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the Inca Emperor Pachacutec (1438–1472). Often referred to as the “Lost City of the Incas”, it is perhaps the most familiar icon of the Inca civilization.

The Incas started build Machu Picchu around 1400 ad, but abandoned it as an official site for the Inca rulers a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest.

Although known locally, it was unknown to the outside world before being brought to international attention in 1911 by the American historian Mr. Hiram Bingham. Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction; with its spectacular location, it’s the best-known archaeological site on the continent.

In the high season from late May until early September, the maximum limit of 2,500 people arrive daily. Despite this great tourist influx, the site manages to retain its air of grandeur and mystery, and is a must for all visitors to Peru.
